Congress Public Records Slice Space

Neutral Records explorer for a public-record slice of congressional money-and-power linkages.

Runtime Notes

• This Space first checks for a bundled local dataset_bundle inside the Space repo, then falls back to the configured Hugging Face dataset repo.
• For local testing, set the PUBLIC_RELEASE_LOCAL_ROOT environment variable to the release root folder before launching app.py.
• The Space is intentionally neutral and does not assign guilt, wrongdoing, intent, or causality.

Required Caveats

• This release is a slice of public-record data, not a complete accounting of all potentially relevant data.
• Future releases may update or expand this slice as source recovery, parsing, and evidence linkage improve.
• This release does not assign guilt, wrongdoing, intent, or causality to any person or organization.
• The release shows public-record overlaps, timing, and linkage strength, not proof of illegality or corruption.
• Some rows remain review-tier or include unresolved official source references and should be read with those labels in mind.
• The public package includes verification summaries and SHA-backed artifact indexes, but it does not include the full internal raw corpus, so external verification is bounded by what is published here.
